It was a quiet afternoon for him as far as cards were concerned with only Wade Elliott receiving a yellow, but he got one big decision horribly wrong when he awarded Everton a penalty when Tony Hibbert 'went down' in the box alongside Chris McCann.
He took his yellow card count to the half century almost two weeks ago in the game between Liverpool and Manchester City and has now totalled 52 yellow and four red cards in his fifteen games this season.
Those yellow cards have been evenly distributed with 25 going to home team players and 27 to away team players. The four red cards came in three successive matches. The first was Chelsea goalkeeper Peter Cech in a 3-1 defeat at Wigan.
Eight days after that he dismissed Fulham's South African midfielder Kagisho Dikgacoi, a decision that incensed Roy Hodgson, and in his next game he dismissed both Tottenham's Jermain Defoe and Michael Brown of Portsmouth in Tottenham's 2-1 win at Fratton Park.
Tomorrow his assistant referees are Andy Garratt (West Midlands) and David Coote (Nottinghamshire). The fourth official is select group referee Kevin Friend (Leicestershire) who refereed our home win against Birmingham.
